Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Section 115 of the Haryana Co-operative Societies Act, 1984, concerning the dismissal of an employee from a cooperative society. The Court held that the principles of natural justice were violated as the respondent was not provided with the enquiry report or the depositions of witnesses, which led to an ex parte decision. Consequently, the dismissal was deemed invalid, and the Court ordered reinstatement with back wages.
